How do I decode this?

My university offers some classes online and to access any lecture you only need a valid log in and knowledge of the url.

They use this scheme:

http://www.XXXXXX.edu/mediaportal/flvplayer.aspx?FileID=eaa343c9-218a-41dc-86e6-a

The only thing that changes is that hexadecimal string.

I thought they might be uploading the lectures and sequentially naming them in base 16. Now I'm getting the feeling that they assign a random number in base 16 to each lecture as a means of preventing people from poking around and landing on a sequence of lectures by chance.

I was going to convert each section to decimal and see if I can identify a pattern, but decided to drop in here and see if I can get any useful input.

it's not encoded you dumbfuck, just randomized

They're UUIDs, truncated to 25 characters for some reason.

RFC 4122 Version 4 UUIDs are generated using random or pseudorandom numbers. So I'm not going to find any patterns, then my only option is brute force by trying each ID in sequence. I'm guessing if I do it too fast my connection will get rejected for DDoS and possibly my account flagged?

RIP

Thanks though
